We had a great stay at the town/shop house in ekkamai. The area was very local and we felt safe as there were always helpful neighbours around.
Although a bit tricky to locate initially (but thanks to tong for the detailed directions), once we were settled in, there were no issues in finding our way back.
Tong was very responsive to any questions and the place was very clean.
My only regret is not having the time to try out the noodle champion stall in our alley. Next time perhaps
